Alaska Buy Miles up to 50% Bonus: Great Deal!

For the first time in a year, Alaska has launched its best offer to buy points: you have a chance to be entitled 50% when buying more than 40k points. Luckily, I had the chance to be eligible for this 50% offer:Buy points now

Let's take a look at the cost if we have 50% bonus：

For every 10 K Alaska miles, we spend around 200 US dollars, what will this bring us? I will give you a classic example here：

You just have to spend 50K miles plus 200 US dollars to redeem an one-way business flight between Asia and North America, and you can choose between Hainan Airlines, Cathay Pacific (you need to redeem over the phone) or Japan Airlines.

Comparing with Aeroplan, which needs 75K miles for one-way flight, this is a way better deal! Let's do a bit more calculation here: for this one-way business flight, you are spending ~ 1200 US dollars, that is less than half price of a normal business flight!

Of course, if you are in Canada, I recommend this master card: MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite MasterCard. If you get approved, you will have 25,000 miles after spending 1000 Canadian dollars in the first three months, and you can get 60 CAD rebate from GCR：
